Michaela Coel has received a nod for I May Destroy You, after her notable omission from the Golden Globes shortlist.
British actors are leading the way in this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, with stars of TV and film recognised in several categories. It came as the late Chadwick Boseman made history, becoming the first person to have four SAG nods. The American actor was nominated for his lead performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, his supporting role in Da 5 Bloods, and for his work in the ensembles of both films. Boseman died aged 43 last September of colon cancer. The Crown’s Olivia Colman and Emma Corrin will go head-to-head during April’s ceremony, while their co-star Josh O’Connor was nominated alongside Bridgerton’s Rege-Jean Page. Michaela Coel was a notable omission when the Golden Globes nominations were announced on Wednesday, but was included by SAG for her role in I May Destroy You, the TV series she also created. In the film categories, Colman, Carey Mulligan, Vanessa Kirby, Gary Oldman, Riz Ahmed, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Daniel Kaluuya and Sacha Baron Cohen all picked up nods. The strong British showing continued similar success at the Golden Globes. The SAG Awards’ equivalent for best picture, outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, included nominations for Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Minari, One Night In Miami and The Trial Of The Chicago 7.
